SAS: Among the best of the biggest!

SAS continues to achieve world-class punctuality!

SAS was recently named the world’s third most punctual airline for 2012 after both Japan Airlines and ANA by independent American flight statistics and analysis source Flightstats. We were also Europe’s most punctual airline three years in a row from 2009 to 2011. In addition, we were the world's most punctual in April and May 2012.

According to FlightStats, 87.91% of all SAS flights landed on time in 2012. This puts SAS in second place in the major European airlines category and in third place in major international airlines. Star Alliance was also in second place in the new airline alliance category.

"Although SAS did not finish in first place this year, we have still achieved a fantastic result and I am proud of all our staff who work hard every day to make sure we provide our customers with good punctuality," said Flemming Jensen, Vice President Operations at SAS.

"Hard work month after month, commitment and focus make us one of the world's most punctual airlines, which is something we are very pleased about," he added while also congratulating the winners of each category.

Japan Airlines took first place among major international airlines and LOT was the most punctual in the major European airlines category.

"The FlightStats results clearly show that we offer our customers world-class punctuality and we have now set our sights on achieving first place in 2013," said Jensen.

We all know that time is precious, so for you to be on time is important and that’s why SAS makes punctuality a top priority. With 88% of all SAS flights arriving on time during 2012, we were better than BA, which managed 75% on-time arrivals. See how much time you save when travelling with us.

According to FlightStats, we were once again among the best in punctuality in 2012. In addition, we were the world's most punctual in April and May 2012.

We know that time is important and we work hard so that you can arrive on time while ensuring you an enjoyable and efficient trip. We will do our best so that 2013 will be even better!

Welcome aboard!
